Every case is different. The billing arrangement is chosen together, based on the nature of your need and the predictability of the case.
Principle: The time actually spent on your case is billed at an agreed hourly rate. A detailed timesheet is attached to each invoice.
Advantage: maximum flexibility — the cost accurately reflects the work carried out.
Principle: Reduced pricing to account for the client's financial situation. The method and level of reduction are defined in the fee agreement based on the nature and stakes of the case.
Advantage: access to the firm preserved even when resources are limited.
Principle: The agreed total amount is spread over several months according to a schedule set out in the fee agreement.
Advantage: easier budget management, without compromising the quality of the defence.
Principle: Same principle as the hourly rate, with a maximum amount agreed in advance. Beyond the cap, the remaining work is absorbed by the firm.
Advantage: the predictability of a fixed fee combined with the transparency of time spent.
Principle: Additional fee calculated as a percentage of the gain obtained or the saving achieved. Always combined with one of the main billing arrangements — never standalone.
Advantage: aligns your interest and the firm's interest with the success of the case.
